Hello!
Does anyone know if there is a site I can view gravestone records for Dunbar Parish Church? I have tried Findagrave.com but no joy!
-
Findagrave does have a partial listing for it www.findagrave.com/cemetery/2450542/dunbar-parish-church-cemetery
The other two Dunbar cemeteries they have show here www.findagrave.com/cemetery-browse/Scotland/East-Lothian/Dunbar?id=city_578029

Hi Monica!
I did look on Find a Grave but they don't have the grave i am looking for listed so i was wondering if there are any other sites? or if there is a site of Scottish burials?
(have also tried gravestonephotos.com & billion graves)

Not sure if the other two sites have carried out complete surveys? If they have, and there is no record, there likely is no remaining gravestone. Either because it has fallen down over the years or because there wasn't one in the first place.
Have you tried searching the death & burial registers on Scotlands People to see if anything shows?

Hi,
There are burial and mortcloth records and memorial inscriptions records for Dunbar from a few years ago.
If you can post some names, I can take a look and see if they’re included.

Hi, I live in Dunbar, and recently I've been visiting the Dunbar Parish Graveyard, taking random pictures of headstones and posting them with a little research on the Find-a-Grave website. So you might find lots of extra's since you last looked. I'd also be happy to visit and try locate if you wish to share names with dates.
There are no on line records that I am aware of or have found. However Dunbar History Society located in the Town House do have a quite comprehensive list/folder for reference. But only accessible in person within the town house. I have requested a copy but no reply due to the pandemic.
Also the John Gray Centre in Haddington have folders on almost every graveyard/cemetery in East Lothian. 2 elderly ladies visits these places to make recordings of all legible headstones over a good period of time. Also a couple of the parishes did likewise and records of all can be found at the John Gray Centre above the Library (top floor) but again you have to visit.
